Tim Geithner drops four-letter bombs

In a Huffington Post quasi-review of the new book by Neil Barofsky, “Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street,” is a story of an epic meltdown by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that would have left many with soap in their mouths had they done the same.

Barofsky, who was the special inspector general for oversight of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, claims that in 2009 Geithner dropped some f and S bombs and said the following during a meeting between the two where Barofsky said Geithner was not being transparent enough with TARP.

“Neil, I have been the most (Naughty Word) transparent secretary of the Treasury in this country’s entire(Naughty Word) history!”

Obviously Timmy was a bit stressed.

It get’s juicer as Geithner chirped in with, “No one has ever made the banks disclose the type of (Dirty Word) that I made them disclose after the stress tests. No one! And now you’re saying that I haven’t been (Dirty Word) transparent?'”
